I'll check......

As a mark of respect for Terence Rigby, who died this week, I thought I'd recall some of my favourite Big Al quotes from the immortal The Beiderbecke Affair and The Beiderbecke Connection :-

No, I'm a fervent atheist.

Pick yourself up and have another go.

Oh look! It's average sized Trevor Chaplin.

People often mistake us for complete strangers.

I shall leave this place like a free man. I do impressions, you see.

Your a headmaster, you must be able to master your head.

You need better informants, Sergeant Hobson. Your grass is a bit green.

I'm just an enthusiastic amateur.

The delivery of the lines was everything; seeing them written down just isn't the same. Excuse any misquotes, I haven't watched the series for a while. Do yourself a favour and get the complete trilogy on DVD. No need to thank me, a small gift will do!

Terence Rigby's sister is called Catherine Sparks! What are the chances of that?
